DESCRIPTION:
Smita Rao said A Classic. This text is used in graduate classes across disciplines such as Exercise Science, Physical Therapy, Biomechanics, Motor Control / Neuroscience. It has emerged as one of the cornerstones of quantitative analysis of human motion. If you're in the field, you should know this book like the back of your han
In addition, basic physics principles are presented in capsule form for ease of use. Muscles are replaced by actuators and the net effect of all muscles is replaced by torque motors. Information is integrated with a common set of data and analyses. The book's organization is such that description of the movement is covered first, followed by chapters that examine the cause of the movement at kinetic and electromyographic levels. The characteristics of those actuators are documented, along with their neural control as represented in the readily available electromyographic signal. Material on biomechanical techniques contributes to the understanding of such everyday movements as walking and lifting. Will appeal to all those involved in the study of a wide variety of human movement problems--from pathological gait to chronic running injuries.

This text is a substantial revision of the widely used Biomechanics of Human Movement, updated and retitled to reflect progress in the field.. In addition, basic physics principles are presented in capsule form for ease of use. Information is integrated with a common set of data and analyses. Material on biomechanical techniques contributes to the understanding of such everyday movements as walking and lifting. The characteristics of those actuators are documented, along with their neural control as represented in the readily available electromyographic signal. Each limb of the body is treated as a separate segment connected at hinge joints. Muscles are replaced by actuators and the net effect of all muscles is replaced by torque motors. Will appeal to all those involved in the study of a wide variety of human movement problems--from pathological gait to chronic running injuries. The book's organization is such that description of the movement is covered first, followed by chapters that examine the cause of the movement at kinetic and electromyographic levels.
